Re: [compost_tea] permits



Yes but I can't print it for public observation.

The State government has warned us not to make any pesticidal claims in marketing compost tea.  We excerpted the "Benefits of Compost Tea" from the Intl. CTC website.  This language uses "displace" , etc. referring to its disease prevention and suppression qualities.  The state chemist was not persuaded.  In our state, as in most states which enforce the federal FIFRA act, the term "pesticide" covers a lot of products.  The state chemist proscribes claims that tea has pest or disease prevention or control benefits.  The state advised us that compost tea would be regulated as a soil conditioner (as is compost itself), not a pesticide or fertilizer.  That's fine with us but the decision limits what you can say in marketing the tea.  Any other stories out there about regulators?
